Michael Carrick had the opportunity to join José Mourinho’s technical team at Manchester United when he ended his playing career in 2018. The former English midfielder recognized that he did not count on that opportunity and that he learned a lot from the Portuguese coach.
“It was fantastic and an incredible opportunity at the end of my career. I was taken by surprise. I never thought I would have an opportunity like that. True, he was in the club for a long time. Seeing Mourinho and the way he quickly perceives the strengths and weaknesses of the players, the speed with which he decides things tactically and how he works. It was an incredible experience», explained the coach, speaking to Sky Bet’s League of 72.
Carrick currently manages Middlesbrough, is working to finish in play offs and be able to fight for promotion to the Premier League.
